Akademy, the KDE community summit, will be hosting the Qt Contributor Summit during the week of July 13-19 in Bilbao, Spain. "A combined conference makes sense. There are many strong personal ties and working relationships among KDE and Qt contributors. Meeting face-to-face will be productive for both projects. 'As part of both the Qt and KDE communities, I've seen how the two have benefited from each other. In the last year and a half, the pace picked up when many KDE developers started working on Qt and certain features inspired by KDE were proposed and accepted into Qt 5. Akademy and the Qt Contributor Summit co-hosting this year means the two communities will have a much bigger opportunity for cross-pollination of ideas.' Thiago Macieira, Qt Core Maintainer, Software Architect at Open Source Technology Center, Intel Corporation." The core Akademy talks will be on Saturday and Sunday (July 13-14), while the Qt Contributor Summit will be "unconference" style in parallel with the Akademy Birds of a Feather (BoF) sessions on Monday and Tuesday (July 15-16).
